Follow upon my order was helpful and friendly

Follow upon my order was helpful and actually lead to an address correction of a mistake I had made.
Service agent is following up on potential for faster shipping. Friendly and helpful.

Hi Daniel,

Catching an address issue before it turns into a delivery headache is a big win. Glad the follow up helped and that the team’s looking into faster shipping too!

Nice product

Ordering process went very smooth. Delivery time was excellent. So far everything is working as should be. I have a couple of questions so will see how customer service goes. Owners manual could be more detailed, especially for a newbie like myself.
Build quality is top notch, my wife even remarked how well constructed it is.

Quick responses to all of my questions

Quick responses to all of my questions. You answered the phone when I called with questions. I got a discount on my first order and I got a great price. Now that’s the way to do business!

I placed an order on Jan 2 (not Jan 5 as shown below). After order confirmation, I received no information on the order even after sending an email inquiry, but they did go ahead and charge me for it. It was a small item. They say 7-10 business days for shipping AFTER you order it, but it is even beyond that now. If they are going to now claim the item is backordered, then they should have told you that on their website. There are more reliable sources out there.

Hi Michael,

We’re sorry this order didn’t go the way it should have. The generator cord was delayed at the distributor level after we were given an earlier restock date. We recognize that better communication around backorders and timing would’ve helped, and we regret the frustration this caused.

Do not buy

Do not buy! I bought one of the 24V kits. The batteries keep shutting off. The inverter is not working properly. The tech support keeps saying we will send a video to the manufacturer. It has been three weeks of not having power.

Hi Wendell,

We’re sorry for the ongoing issues and the time this has taken. The troubleshooting information provided pointed to a manufacturer level warranty issue, and a claim was submitted on your behalf. The manufacturer requires a diagnostic video to move forward with resolution, which has contributed to the delay. We can see that our service team has remained responsive and engaged throughout this process, but we do need the requested documentation in order to move the claim forward and help bring this to a resolution. We understand how frustrating this situation has been and appreciate your cooperation as we work through the manufacturer’s requirements together.
